Familial partial lipodystrophy, also known as Köbberling–Dunnigan syndrome, [2] is a rare genetic metabolic condition characterized by the loss of subcutaneous fat. [ 3 ] : 495 FPL also refers to a rare metabolic condition in which there is a loss of subcutaneous fat in the arms, legs and lower torso.
Familial Partial Lipodystrophy, Dunnigan Type Autosomal dominant is the manner of inheritance of this condition Dunnigan-type familial partial lipodystrophy , also known as FPLD Type II and abbreviated as ( FPLD2 ), is a rare monogenic form of insulin resistance characterized by loss of subcutaneous fat from the extremities , trunk , and ...
Lipodystrophy can be divided into the following types: [5]: 495–7 Congenital lipodystrophy syndromes Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (Berardinelli-Seip syndrome) Familial partial lipodystrophy; Marfanoid–progeroid–lipodystrophy syndrome; Chronic atypical neutrophilic dermatosis with lipodystrophy and elevated temperature syndrome [6]
Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and antidouble-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) antibodies have reportedly been observed in some patients with acquired partial lipodystrophy. A genetic workup should be performed if the familial form of lipodystrophy is suggested. Laboratory work for associated diseases includes: [citation needed]
Acquired generalized lipodystrophy (AGL), also known as Lawrence syndrome [1] and Lawrence–Seip syndrome, [1] is a rare skin condition that appears during childhood or adolescence, characterized by fat loss affecting large areas of the body, particularly the face, arms, and legs.
Lipoprotein lipase deficiency is a genetic disorder in which a person has a defective gene for lipoprotein lipase, which leads to very high triglycerides, which in turn causes stomach pain and deposits of fat under the skin, and which can lead to problems with the pancreas and liver, which in turn can lead to diabetes.
After all, problems related to hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are close to the top of the list of annoying health issues. And while many of us would likely prefer not to talk about them, they ...
